Reg 262 - Vehicle / Vessel Transfer And Reassignment Form

The Reg. 262 is a single-page DMV multipurpose form that combines odometer disclosure, bill of sale, and power of attorney.

It is not available online because it is printed on security paper, which makes it compliant with federal odometer disclosure.

When to complete?

There are four reasons why you would need to complete this DMV form.

1. A normal transfer, with or without the certificate of title (If this is a paperless title you will also need fill out a DMV Reg 227), documenting the sale of car to the new owner.

2. You will need to complete this DMV form when there is more than one transfer for a vehicle. For example; Juan sold the vehicle to Tony, Tony is selling the vehicle to Debbie. The title (A.K.A pink slip) will show it was sold from Juan to Tony, and if there is no space for Debbie, this form will need to be completed. DMV Reg 262 will show that Tony is selling the car to Debbie.

3. You will also need to complete this form if the odometer is required and it has been crossed off or is incorrect (Only need to fill out section 1, 3 and 4 - note section 4 we will only need buyers information).

4. The last reason why you would need to complete this form is; if either party has a power of attorney (In the case that the seller or buyer cannot execute the DMV form themselves).

Complete Section 2 - Bill of Sale (To be completed by the seller of the vehicle)

- Seller to New owner on date of purchase for the amount of enter amount. If the vehicle was a gift, specify your relationship to the seller and enter the amount of gift value.

Complete Section 3 - Odometer Disclosure (To be completed by the seller at the time of sale)

Note: You do not need to complete this field if:

The vehicle is 10+ years old

Commercial vehicle with a GVW / CGW of more than 16,000 pounds

New being transferred prior to its first retail sale by a dealer

If the above reasons do not apply to you, you will need to complete this section. Another reason you will need to complete this section is if on the original Certificate of Title the odometer was entered incorrectly or has been crossed off.

Form is complete unless... there is a power of attorney involved in either seller or buyer.
